Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Kataract

Sex: Male

Age: 18

BirthDay: Feb 1, 1987

State Residency: NC

Political Affiliation: Republican

Job: High School Senior

Summary of Issues:

Death Penalty-For brutal murder, rape, or treason. Maybe not for women. Sorry if that offends anyone, a vestige of chivalry in me tells me it's wrong to hurt women.

Gay Marriage-Keep the State out of marriage in general. But, if they insist on the government in everything, strike back as hard as we can with it.

Gay-As long as you don't press it on me, it's your life.

Abortion=Homocide (one of the largest mass murders ever)

Global Warming- Another anti-progress scam.

UN-Withdraw unless we get power equal to what we contribute

War in Iraq-"Invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to..." Coulter would say Christianity, and that's good. But I'd also be happy in giving them just Judeo-Christian morals.

War on Terror-Ditto.

Gun Control-How else will we defend our rights?

Communism- Slavery, Robbery, Evil (and responsible for what? Over 100 million deaths?)

Welfare- Unconstitutional.

Military- Major pay increases. (Thank you so much. If I'm ever drafted, I'll serve with you.)

Liberal Professors-I'm with Horowitz


Nice to meet everyone.

Name: Amy

Sex: Female

Age: 17

Birthday: November 10, 1987

State Residency: Illinois

Political Affiliation: Will register as Republican when I am of voting age.

Job: High School Junior. Currently working at an ice cream parlor called Oberweis (As in the Republican Jim Oberweis that someone MIGHT know?)

Summary of Issues:

Death Penalty- In severe cases, yes. Multiple murders and that sort of thing.

Gay Marriage- Not really for it persay, but I do believe in civil unions.

Abortion- Absolutely against unless in cases of rape, incest, or if the woman is in fatal danger.

Partial-birth Abortion- Never.

Global Warming- Eh. I do believe that we need to maintain and preserve our environment but I really don't see Global Warming as a huge threat.

UN- It's nice to think that countries will remain peaceful and civil but it really will never work.

War in Iraq- Support.

War on Terror- Support, more than the war in Iraq.

Gun Control- No, we have the right to bear arms and we should keep it that way. People owning guns legally is not the problem anyway.

Communism- A good idea on paper, but can never work in the real world. I mean come on....world domination is part of the plan and they claim that building walls (i.e. Great Wall of China) and putting up barbed wire (post-WWII in East Berlin) is to keep evil influences out when it's obviously to keep the people in.

Welfare- People now depend too heavily upon it. It's made people even lazier and makes them have more kids in order to recieve more money (I hope that didn't sound to harsh). As long as people only are allowed to stay on welfare for a certain amount of time and the welfare helps them get a job I guess it's alright...

Military- Wooo I love you guys heart

Liberal Professors- I agree with Kohaku, liberal high school teachers are bad too. I think that as long as the liberals do not impose their beliefs upon the students and do not make their grades suffer as a consequence to disagreeing it's fine. I know a few conservative teachers too who are pretty open with their opinions (and I love them heart )

Name: Will

Sex: Male

Age: 19

Birthday: February 27, 1988

State Residency: North Dakota

Political Affiliation: Conservative, Republican

Occupation: Student attending the University of North Dakota. Looking for another job.

Summary of Issues:

Death Penalty- Support for extreme cases, in particular murder.

Gay marriage- Don't really care one way or the other, though I lean more toward allowing it, as I think it's causing too much of a stink as it is, and I don't see it as a threat to national security or tradition.

Abortion- For it in certain cases, but otherwise divided on whether or not it should be allowed.

Global Warming- Global warming has, in the past, actually been beneficial. And we should not be concerned with lowering carbon dioxide emissions, as carbon dioxide is not the main cause of air pollution.

UN- Once a good idea, now nothing but a group of corrupt "officials" who have the capability to get nothing done. Their best ability is writing angry papers to the ne'er-do-well nations telling them how angry they are and waving fingers at the troublesome little brat nations.


War in Iraq- Strongly support it. Some would argue that Iraq never did anything to us, but they supported terrorism. It was time to "clean up."

War on Terror- Also support. Keep pushing the terrorists around so they can't touch us.

Gun Control- The Right to Bear Arms is a right that should never be controlled. Guns aren't the problem, raving lunatics who are serial killers are.

Communism- Sounds good on paper, but can never work. What I find ironic about communism is that they claim it's the people's country, but it really isn't. The only reason some communist countries are in power today is because of the oppresion they put on their own people, enough to prevent them from doing anything.

Welfare- This is where the "get a job, you bum!" part comes in. It might be better to allow welfare for a limited time, so as to encourage people to find work. This is a capitalist country, after all. If you can't get a good job, you have only yourself to blame. An education is extremely important these days.

Military- The military is awesome, especially the US military. Although for me, anything military counts as cool. Those in the military I salute you! If I had to be drafted, I definately wouldn't run to Canada for protection, or be like Clinton who fled to Europe to escape the Vietnam draft. For now though, the military doesn't seem like a good career path for me.

Liberal Teachers and Professors- Having dealt with a "first-class" East Coast Elitist Liberal professor who told us up front that our opinion didn't matter because he's always right...yeah, I hate dealing with them.

College has made me, shall we say, slightly more moderate, but only about a couple select social issues. Other than that, I'm as intolerant as I usually am. mrgreen

Name: Tina

Sex: Female

Age: 16

Birthday: October 21, 1988

Political Affiliation: Republican - I became a true Republican by the age of 10, just in time for the 2000 election. And of course, at the age of 10 is when people started to get in fights with me in politics - I had no background information in much of anything. So I started researching things by the age of 12, I could defend most of my views (I'm still learning a great deal of them). But people don't fight me as much anymore. Cause they know I'll never stop talking.

Religious beliefs: Agnostic

Radio: Rush Limbaugh

Summary of Issues:
Death Penalty- Allow it.
Gay Marriage- Ban it. They can get "united" isn't it called something civil or something like that? *Can't exactly remember*
Abortion- Ban it. Completely. (Here: it's here where the emotion makes people say, "Ban Abortion except: da da da da da")
Global Warming- This is only an issue to the people that care (Treehuggers mainly eh?)
War in Iraq- I support it. I believe we're doing a good job in there.
Enviroment- I don't really care about the enviroment so much. I mean, I don't liter and I do clean up in communities. But I don't want my area of living be trashy. But I really don't sit and think about the enviroment on a day-to-day basis.
Gun Control- Everyone should be able to have firearm in their home. It protects them and scares off burglars and such. And guns don't kill people, people do.
UN- We should get out of there. The UN is crap! I hate the UN. They have a lot of scandals, why are we still in there?
Welfare- After what my Uncle did, I really don't like it. He purposely injuried himself at his work to the point to where he can't work anymore (he's really fat too) and he's on welfare and he loves it. Cause he can get money for just laying at home - getting fatter - watching tv. Now if a person is seriously at 2$ left, just lost all the money because of bankrupcy...not because of gambling and such, then they should get welfare (ugh. my emotions get to me....)

Name: dragonwarrior_keltyr

Real Name: .....

Age: 16 ((dang two years till I can vote..grr))

Location: small town Alberta, Canada

Hobbies: karate, writing, current Canadian politics (Adscam, Techscam, Dingwall etc)) sports, anime, Japan ((and the list goes on))

Background: um... I'm a small town girl, born and bread. I really got into politics in grade 9/10. I love debates but I'm usually found in the AofH guild, where I'm a MoD.

Political Stance:
Abortion: against, it is murder
Gun control: well in Canada the Gun Registry is crap and wasted a bunch of money ((that went back to Grit coffers?))
Homosexual marriage: against
The Ten Commandments in courthouses are NOT offensive.
The Iraq War was justified: agreed, whether or not Bush wanted oil, he was justified
War on Terror: I agree with it
Military:don't get me started. They are underfunded, undermanned, and in bad need of money and new military equipment.

Canadian PM: is a lying skunk and should have resigned when he lost the Confidence vote. He is no better, and perhaps worse than Chretien.

Hi I'm Rebecca (well Benvolia whatever). I've cared about issues since I was eight and have been argueing with liberals since 5th grade. Unfortunately I love theatre and the arts where everyone tends to be so left wing I want to cry.

That's about it smile

Hey I'm Indy or Sam. I joined this guild a few days or maybe a week ago but I only just got time to post here. Anyway I think I might be the youngest person in this guild. I'm 14, turning 15 in a few months ( redface ). I live in Canada and am currently attending a performing arts highschool.

I just became politically aware during this past election. I'm still developing a few of my views so I don't have much to say. I do however know that I am a conservative, and I loved the plan to give parents with children under the age of 6 money for daycare. I found out that I hated disagreed with the liberals when they said that parents would spend that money on beer and popcorn.

I support gay marriages although I also believe that a church, or even a minister, should have the right to decide whether or not they perform the marriage. It's still their right, and if they disagree with gay marriages then they can't be forced to silence their views and perform the ceremony.

I think that's about all I have for now. As I watch CPAC more and learn more about the issues and develop my thoughts I'll add more to this post. Until then...
